Despite making $10,000 to play for Akron, he didn't think there was much of a career opportunity in basketball. He quit to sell furniture, eventually becoming a vice president at Thomasville. He and his wife moved to Orlando in 1972. Huber died of a heart attack in 2005.
He married Ruth (1918-1996) and had a daughter, Sandy Donnan, and a son, Michael (dec.)
